Common Questions
Students can choose to specialise in one of three areas: Civil and Structural Engineering (covering structures, water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (covering electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications, and power generation and distribution including renewable energy), or Mechanical Engineering (covering mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines).
Yes. The Bachelor of Engineering Science component is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of Engineering Technologist and is recognised internationally under the Sydney Accord. The Master of Engineering component is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of Professional Engineer and is recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.
A key feature of the course is the completion of 750 hours of professional practice, which includes two 12-week work placements. This ensures you are familiar with current engineering practice and can begin to build your network of engineering contacts for future employment.
This course is available to study 100% online (by distance learning) or on campus at the Casuarina campus in Darwin. Online students require access to the internet, with high-speed broadband highly recommended. Students can also choose to study full-time or part-time.
The annual tuition fee for full-time international students in 2026 is AUD $40,808.00, which equates to $5,101.00 per 10 credit point unit (0.125 EFTSL). These fees are subject to annual increases effective at the start of each calendar year. CDU also offers a number of scholarships to international students to assist with the cost of study.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
